Historians admit to inventing ancient Greeks

Egregious

Seeing as how the end result included Gerard Butler in a loincloth, I'm prepared to forgive and forget.

I knew it, the whole thing was wildly improbable and unrealistic...

Ancient Greece was made up by the Americans...

Please allow me to apologize in advance for the following outburst:

OMG N00BZ!

There's always a first time. At least yours was among friends.

I probably shouldn't admit this, but i started reading the article, thinking:

"WTF, this is too fanstistic! Homer, the Illiad, et all, made up? This is too incredible to believe. What news source is this anyway?!

*looked at the URL*

"oh......."

FRAU! I'm ashamed of you! Using Wiki as a source. Don't you know they never get anything right?

You should have used The Onion itself - much more reliable.

Oh, and they just released this photo of the professor who actually wrote the Illiad and the Odyssee for them.

Anything that comes from the onion is proven, factual and true

That's why you wouldn't believe them
